Usually dynos will break your heart...There is all the HP you make afters swiping your card and talking BS to your buddies and then there is what you make...Figure a 15-20% drivetrain loss to figure crankshaft HP...What does your car have on it again? I want to try and guess the WHP...Jason..

Ok, a stock GS is 395 crank HP according to Wikipedia...The tune and the decats are really your power adders there..I'm gonna say your power adders add about 42 HP...So 395+42=437 HP....437HP wheel HP with a 18% loss would be like 358 WHP...Be aware that a Mustang tends to read slightly high.I just got my BMW back off one and the number is high IMO...Let us know...J

Mine is a 1988 E30 BMW...2.8 liter stroker motor 2 valves per cylinder, with big cam, head work, header, full exhaust, extrude hone intake and 3mm over throttle body, megasquirt stand alone injection...I put down 216 HP on a Mustang..That would put the car in like the 235-240 crank HP range and I think the car is more like in the 225-230 HP range...Either way it is 2700 Lbs and pretty quick with that HP...J

Atlanta has a 60 mile highway that forms a circle around the city...You are either ITP or OTP here...In or outside the perimeter...I'm OTP so while not as fancy as ITP you get a lot less traffic, car break ins, etc...Just less BS...Tim is ITP...Both groups usually stay in there area...Jason

No dude, no cow catcher from a `87..It is a 88..It has the newer lower valance, but still has diving board bumpers..I compressed the factor bumper shocks...Nothing broken here..I skipped no expense..J
